According to the biography, her smaller number of engagements makes her “technically a part-time working royal”.
Omid Scobie in the book said that the 41-year-old royal “does not plan to increase her workload for 10-15 years” until her children Prince George, 10, eight-year-old Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis who is five, have reached adulthood.
In his books, the author also claims that Middleton went by the moniker “Katie Keen” because the press office of the royal family once asserted that she is “keen to learn” in an attempt to deflect attention from her meager work schedule.
Scobie wrote, “Where other senior royals are out and about several times a week, meeting people across the length and breadth of the country, Kate has long maintained a smaller work schedule that helped her check off the required royal boxes while saving time for her roles as a mother and a wife”.
He also wrote that the late Queen Elizabeth had a strong liking for the Duchess as she was “coachable” and could be made into the ideal royal.Even though the late queen was known to attend at least three hundred engagements a year, she was also known to take periodic breaks throughout the year to rest, he further added.In the book, Scobie mentioned, referring to sources, that Kate is “laser focused” on her obligations to her family and the Crown. In the novel he also alleged that both Middleton and her estranged sister-in-law Meghan Markle were encouraged to dress like the late Princess Diana.
Meghan and Middleton were seen regularly replicating Dianns’s iconic looks and even wearing her old accessories.
